ing comparatively flat pads which were forced into the upholsterypockets. I

In use the padding was forced into the sides of the pockets, anda major.. portion of the eifectiveness' was thus'lost.-

The object of my invention is to form a padding substantially circular in cross section, and with a suitable longitudinal reinforcement, which when positioned in the "upholstery pocket will require a much greater length of time to flatten out. Also a greater amount of resiliency in the 'direction'of the.

pressure will ensue from this-type of ."padding. i I 1 Another object 'is to provide a pad with anouter'coating or sleeve ,of a. materia of high tensile strength, and a filling of in-,. butt and the reinforcin v strip 6 extend over i the seam between the a uttin expensive material but of" low tensile strength,-i. e. an outer "coat of longstaple cotton, and an inner filling of short len s waste cotton, and other short bre of jute, material. I Other objects and advantages will be more specifically described in the following de' tailed description. I

In the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated: 1

my padding.

' Figure 2 is asectional view 'taken on the line -22 of Figure-.1. V

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of a modified storm of padding Figure-4 is a transverse sectional viewof another modification of the padding.

Referring more particularly to the draw ing, m padding consists of an" outer layer or cover 1, which is preferably formedof a long fibre material, and which .is wrapped about or'filled with a filling'2. This filling [may be an inexpensive short fiber material.

To increase the tensile strength of the padding, I rovide a 'reinforoingstrip 3, which is place between the overlapping edges of the layer or cover'l, and is preferably secured to both edges, such-as by an adhesive placed upon both faces of the strip.

'In the form shownin Figure 3 the reinforcing strip 4 extends through the filling material 2, andmay or ma not'be secured thereto as desired. I fin it advisable to place an adhesive on at least one face of the strip 4 thus binding the strip securely to the filling 2.

If the material 2 isplaced in the cover 1 after the cover. has been formed into. 9. cylfinder, the overlapping edges of. the cover may be secured together by any suitable means.

If'desired, the edges of the cover 1 may I edges and is secured to the cover, prefera ly by an ad hesive.

Having described In invention, 1 claim:

1. An upholstery pa comprising'a cy. -.n-

drical fabric cover having overlapping lon gitudina-l edges, a reinforcing strip secured to said edges, and a fill-mg core in said cover.

,2. An upholstery pad comprising a filling core, a cover surrounding said core, said.

coverhaving overlapped longitudinal edges,

,3. A padding material comprising an outer cover, the edges of said cover overlapping, a reinforcing strip extending between; the: overlapping edges and secured thereto, and a filling core in said cover.

- Intestimony whereof I aflix my si ature.
